All the prophets
This phrase underscores the unity and consistency of the prophetic witness throughout the Old Testament. The Greek word for "prophets" is "προφήτης" (prophētēs), which refers to those who were divinely inspired to speak God's truth. Historically, the prophets, from Moses to Malachi, pointed towards the coming Messiah. This collective testimony highlights the continuity of God's redemptive plan, affirming that Jesus is the fulfillment of the prophecies. The prophets' consistent message about the coming Savior serves as a powerful testament to the divine orchestration of salvation history.

testify about Him
The Greek word for "testify" is "μαρτυρέω" (martyreō), meaning to bear witness or give evidence. This legal term implies a solemn declaration of truth. The prophets' testimony about Jesus is not merely a prediction but a divine attestation of His identity and mission. This phrase emphasizes the reliability and authority of the prophetic witness, which is rooted in divine revelation. The prophets' testimony is not just historical but also spiritual, pointing to the transformative power of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection.

that everyone who believes in Him
The inclusivity of "everyone" (Greek: "πᾶς" - pas) signifies the universal scope of the Gospel. The message of salvation is not limited by ethnicity, social status, or past sins. "Believes" (Greek: "πιστεύω" - pisteuō) implies a deep, personal trust and reliance on Jesus, not merely intellectual assent. This belief is a heart response to the truth of who Jesus is and what He has done. The phrase underscores the centrality of faith in the Christian experience, highlighting that salvation is accessible to all who place their trust in Christ.

receives forgiveness of sins
The Greek word for "forgiveness" is "ἄφεσις" (aphesis), which means release or pardon. This term conveys the idea of liberation from the bondage of sin. Forgiveness is not earned but received as a gift of grace. The phrase emphasizes the transformative power of the Gospel, which not only pardons but also restores the believer to a right relationship with God. The concept of forgiveness is central to the Christian message, offering hope and renewal to those burdened by sin.

through His name
In biblical times, a name represented the essence and authority of a person. "Name" (Greek: "ὄνομα" - onoma) signifies the power and character of Jesus. To receive forgiveness "through His name" means to acknowledge and submit to the authority of Jesus as Lord and Savior. This phrase highlights the exclusivity of Christ as the mediator between God and humanity. It is through Jesus' sacrificial death and victorious resurrection that believers are granted access to God's grace and forgiveness. The name of Jesus is not just a label but a declaration of His divine identity and redemptive work.

(43) To him give all the prophets witness.--As in St. Peter's earlier speeches in Acts 2, 3 so here, we trace the result of our Lord's teaching given in the interval between the Resurrection and Ascension as to the method of prophetic interpretation which discerns, below all temporary and historical references, the under-current of testimony to the kingdom of which Christ was the Head.

That through his name. . . .--We can without difficulty represent to ourselves the impression which these words must have made on the anxious listeners. This was the answer to their doubts and perplexities. Not by submitting themselves to the bondage of the Law, not by circumcision and all that it implied, but by the simple act of faith in Christ, and in the power of His Name, i.e., of all the attributes and energies of which the Name was the symbol, they, Gentiles as they were, might receive that remission of sins which conscience, now roused to its full activity, taught them was the indispensable condition of acceptance and of peace. The intensity of that emotion, the satisfaction of all their previous yearnings, placed them subjectively in a spiritual condition which prepared the way for the wonder which the next verse narrates.

Verse 43. - Bear for give, A.V.; every one that for whosoever, A.V.; on him for in him, A.V. Here we have another article of the Creed, the forgiveness of sins, preached too in immediate anticipation of baptism, on the profession of faith in Jesus Christ (ver. 48). Comp. Acts 8:37 (T.R.) and 38.
